I don't think its that FW doesn't like the Exorcists, I think its that GW put them in the main Codex and said they could take any Chapter Tactics, so FW were kind of stuffed
Remain loyal to the Exorcists. ::sound of ominous chanting::
Join the Sons of Medusa. "Purge the Weak!"
Something else - explained below.

Exorcists could be really cool to do also. I always wanted to see a model of their fw char.
Purge the Weak!
I suppose they could have retconned it with something like "if you are playing with Forgeworld rules, you have the option to use this Chapter Tactics." But they didn't, so here we are, regardless.
I'll... consider that.
Honestly though, part of the appeal is just switching colors. I get to paint a lot of red with my Knights of Blood. Well, red and silver. But the vehicles are mostly red, with silver stuff added.

Flip a coin. Chaos is always fair.
In my opinion forging a new chapter is more fun than following GW or FWs paint rules and all that jazz for said spec chapter. Then you can tailor to your play style. With a cool or tragic story.
A new army should be an adventure in painting with different colors. Go with the Sons of Medusa. You can even try some freehand work by painting Medusa heads on the vehicles, all fangs and red eyes and snakey hair. That would look fantastic.*

There is one direction: FORWARD!
Makes sense, wanted to get my thoughts on Exorcists/Red Hunters out though :P
If you're planning to model Vaylund Cal, [URL="http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281427-iron-hands-chapter-master/?p=3490279"]check out this conversion on B&C[/URL]. The poster intends it to be an Iron Hands Master on bike, but damn if the concept isn't perfect for Vaylund.

My vaylund cal is made out of the body and legs of the forge world pre heresy terminators bc its smaller then a normal termi. Arms from the dark angels termis the halberd. Replaced the halberd head with a gear/hammer bit i made. Shoulders are two ven dread chest pieces. Then used a normal servo harness and made it connect on the back. Head is from the iron hands tac squad. Ill post a pic later. I think i represented him well he is large, but not too big.
